SWS (Slow-wave sleep) rebound is the lengthening and increase in frequency and depth of SWS after periods of sleep deprivation. A longer duration of time spent in SWS, as well as a significant shortening of NREM3 latency are common signs of an SWS rebound, as a study on a selective slow-wave sleep deprivation has shown.[1]
Sleep-onset SWS
Normally, SWS only occurs around 20-30 minutes into a sleep cycle. However, during the process of SWS rebound, SWS latency shortens, meaning that the body reaches SWS sooner. This phenomenon is known as sleep-onset SWS, or SOSWS.
